Hello Moto! We were just talking about you just last week, when Verizon introduced the world to its latest set of Motorola DROID branded smartphones. This time though, we’re getting a look at something that seems to have far more reach than its DROID siblings. In a very quiet affair...

American assembly and labor ain't cheap. The public wants American-made products, and you got it. The higher price tag is a consequence for this decision... it's time to put the money where your mouth is, folks!

the shakey wrist thing to open the camera is beyond dumb. However everything else is nice. Nothing special really. Great, and possibly the best mid range out there though. Would get it but i want the HTC One / LG G2 instead sorry motoooo

Are these phones missing the big "MOTOROLA" logo on its top bezel? Will that be the case for the phones when sold? Of all the phone manufacturers around, MOTOROLA with its very rich history, especially its contribution to AMERICA'S WORLD WAR 2 Victory, makes me proud to have that familiar "MOTOROLA" logo on its bezel...Phone looks kinda naked without it...

Looks great, but AT&T exclusive Moto Maker? Come on. That's probably the best thing about this phone. Maybe it's just a carrier exclusive, and so the unlocked version is unaffected by it. Also, $200 on contract isn't good, that $300 off contract price doesn't look so believable now.

The strength of the new Motorola mobile is customization which incidentally is great (eye with wooden back cover). Another important point is that even though your hardware is not in itself surprising will be talking about. I look to see how behaves crave compared to Qualcomm s600 and 800.

Well, i dont like At&t exclusive moto maker option. That should have been across the board from the jump. Also, where is the off contract option? No way do i want to sign up through a carrier, in my case Verizon, and lose my unlimited data in the process. Looks like i have to wait some more. Maybe all the way until Nexus 5 is shown,,,,,,,,whenever that is.

Moto Maker exclusivity with AT&T is just a really boneheaded move. That needs to dissolve immediately.
$199 on contract isn't too stellar either, but it appears they are all trying to slide the high end handsets into the $299 price tag range, naturally pulling the mid range phones to $199.

If the off contract price of a 32GB Google Play Edition isn't too exorbitant, I *might* still consider one.

Ok so I just noticed this, but why does the front of the device look like it has a case on it? It ruined the design for me. I know it might be some measures to protect the screen, but talk about ugly! And that's why cases exist too!
